Challenging Corporate Power: an all-day special on KBOO Community Radio
Friday February 10th from 8 am to 6 pm

As the Occupy Wall Street movement continues to the next stage of building alternative economic structures, pushing for a constitutional amendment to end corporate personhood, and engaging in challenges to corporate power from the local to the international level, KBOO Radio has decided to devote a full day of programming to bring attention to this growing movement.

In our all-day special on Challenging Corporate Power, we will bring you the voices of the Occupy Wall Street movement from Portland to New York to Washington DC, with updates from around the country on organizing efforts and successes.

Both were victories for the notion of women as full human beings, and, crucially, both were won in the court of public opinion.

Laurie Mercier talks with Margaret Butler, director and co-founder of the Portland-area labor coalition, Jobs with Justice, which just turned 20 years old. Butler talks a little about what JwJ does in general and recent actions, advocacy and campaigns they've done.
